- And finally, be sure to check out our exclusive appearance by the one and only William Shatner! Who may or may not be performing his iconic "Rocket Man!"(Assuming we can find enough cigarettes.)

Oh, and now that I've got you all pumped for a con, I should note that there really *is* a scifi convention in Orlando this weekend, and John and I are totally going. See you there, fellow Florida geeks!

We're taking my 13-year-old son and three of his friends for his birthday party. My son made his own costume and parts of the ones his friends will be wearing. They'll be dressed as a group they made up. So, if you happen to see four youngish teens wandering around together dressed in home-made costumes you don't recognize, you could say, "Happy Birthday, Malcolm!"

I don't know why... but the inner voice that read the commentary was the "MONSTER TRUCK MANIA!!!!!" Announcer. Which brought the hilarity to a whole 'nother level! Have fun at the con and I look forward to pictures on "the other blog."

I think all these wreckerators were high [long inhaling puff] as a kite! I think it's gonna be a long, long time before we see a decent cake.

Spock and Leia--that's awesome! Be even better if she was in the slave outfit.

The Disney Princess cake should have been delivered to the Drag Festival (the one that has nothing to do with fast cars) because there's no way those are chicks.

I don't think that's Val Kilmer's Batman, but it does look a bit like Adam West, the original Batman and current Mayor of Quahog.

The bad Buzz Lightyear attempt doesn't look much like The Shat to me, but any excuse to post the Rocket Man video is okay by me! Come on, Bill, quit bogarding that thing and pass it around. I actually remember watching that broadcast when I was a kid and long before "WTF" became a thing, I was thinking it! Even then, I thought the effects were uber cheesy, especially when the Transporter malfunctions and his right arm temporarily gets beamed away.

Oh, and get ready for backlash from Muskogeegans. Muskogeeans. Muskogogeeites. People from Muskogee.

WV: lyclopma A rare disease that causes severe deformity of the head such as that suffered by Captain Picard.

The flier left off an appearance by Mark Douglas in "Wolverine: The Musical" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIJvECLL5NY (I haven't got the hang of embedding links.) No doubt the Wolverine cake celebrates his performance.

The Disney princess cake reminds me of the time my husband and I were watching a Monty Python sketch with our young daughter. It was her first time to see men in drag, and she innocently asked why the "girls" looked like boys! Grown-up laughter ensued...good times...

I haven't posted before, but this post is killing me. Not that everything wasn't awesome(I mean, Shatner? Come on!), but that simpering 1st Hulk still has me in tears. I laughed so hard, my coworker in the cubicle across from me is convinced I've lost my mind, again. Thank you for all this spectacle on such a grim day!

@SuBee: I wasn't until the very end and he grinned, like he was thinking, "I can't believe all these people took this so seriously." And even if he wasn't then, he has been known to self-mock more recently.

Love the whole post today, but I keep getting stopped at the Picard wedding? cake. Is kissing 'The Picard' some new tradition at weddings? Is the happy couple in search of the captain's blessing on their marriage? Intriguing as those ideas are, I still don't think I'd be willing to hack into any part of him after all the cake pics had been taken. Jus' sayin'.

Oh, I *wish* this had been a post LAST WEEK, as last weekend was my annual SFF convention / weekend of geekdom! Fear not, I'm forwarding, but it would have been a hoot during many discussions! Thank, Cake Wrecks, as usual, you're amazing!

Sorry, I know there are lots of Shat fans out there, but I could only get through 1/2 of the video clip... when not cringing in horror, I kept wondering what brand of cigarette he was using to generate such huge plumes of smoke...

My friend just told me to check out Cake Wrecks. Spock and Leia are from our wedding and it is was our groom's cheese"cake". I have no clue how this picture got out. I got the figurines as a special inside joke for my husband. He's the Star Trek fan, I'm the Star Wars fan, and I know ... never the twain shall meet. But we did. And got married in spite of it. ;)

I love the tag line. And everyone's comments.

@Classic Steve - Spock is bigger than Leia because it was hard to find two action figures of the same height in 30 days. lol.

@pikkewyntjie "Spock and Leia--that's awesome! Be even better if she was in the slave outfit. " lol. Um. NO.

@Laura P. "And I'm totally digging the big blob of white frosting underneath Leia and Spock! lol! I mean, seriously? They couldn't have used just a bit less frosting?" Ouch. Well, I guess it would have looked less odd if I hadn't just picked up a normal cheesecake and "wrecked" it for true love.

@pdxnico "Are Leia and Spock on a flan "cake"? The Star Wars and Star Trek universes battle it out in wedded bliss atop a tasty Mexican dessert, my mind is officially blown." haha. Outside of the Flan, that's exactly it.

omgn! that video almost made me pee my pants. i have never seen that. that alone was the laugh of the day but i look forward to your website every day for great laughs.thanks for cheering me every day!

As Andrea B's former roommate, I will say that I did freak out when she showed them to me. We threatened to find Han Solo and Chewbacca figurines to stand menacingly by the cake and threaten Spock, but we just didn't have enough time...

Aww, we're not picking on Muskogee. Jen asked me for the name of an out-of-the-way place and I thought of Muskogee. It just sort of popped into my mind. We added the county because it sounded even more remote. That said, you have to admit it would be awesome if this convention came to Muskogee.

True story, and i don't know if anybody's said this yet since I don't like to delve into the comments too much, but there is a (pretty bad) cartoon movie called "Buzz Lightyear of Star Command" that William Shatner recorded the theme song for. It's called "To Infinity and Beyond" and it's HORRIBLE.

the wolverine was actually made by me. It started out being for my sons birthday party, the early stage of my cake decorating career. After it turned into a "Buff Freddy Mercury with a bad hairdo" i scrapped it. Still glad that it is appreciated for its pros and cons

So funny ..I baked a cake for St. Paddy's Day and instantly thought of this site!

Why, you ask? Every time I bake, something goes horribly wrong and I inevitably think of you. Everything was going great for this cake, I had managed to color it TWO shades of green ..all my boyfriend had to do was get the cake out of the pan.

I know. Why did I even let him near it? Moral of the story -It was a one layer bundt cake in the beginning. It was most certainly two by the time he had helped me.http://halfpastwonderful.blogspot.com/2011/03/happy-saint-patricks-day.html

For a minute, I hoped that the first line actually meant you were going to be in Muskogee, Oklahoma. Alas, it seems that you, like so many others, only picked my home town because it sounds funny and/or is in an old country song.

For the record, 99% of Muskogee County residents hate that song. How about next time you try an even funnier Oklahoma place-name? We have a Potawatamie, Okfuskee, Lotawata, and even a Hooker, OK. Or you could always try getting over the depression-era stereotypes.

Ok. My Dad was born in Muskogee. People say I get my sense of humor from him. Note the phrase, 'sense of humor'. I always bring that with me when I visit Cake Wrecks, because Cake Wrecks is a *humor* blog. It isn't a formal information resource like Wikipedia (is for some people, but not John (thoJ), who has learned his lesson, one hopes).

Know what I think of songs, blogs, etc. sending up Muskogee? It reminds me of the funny stories my Dad used to tell about his hometown, and I smile.

Smiling helps me see the lighter side and helps me avoid ascribing evil intent to every utterance by others -- there is more than enough real evil in the world that I don't have to go around fabricating still more.

By the way, I haven't had time to check the Exhaustive Encyclopedia of Games (unabridged version, by Edmund Welles), but those dice might be wrong. Just thought you should know.

My wife and I decorated ...errr... desecrated a very nice chocolate cake in honor of the Shat's birthday. I put "Bill- Happy 80rd B-Day" in horrible writing and she put pretty pretty flowers on it. The cake tastes good and the icing is pure sugar so that's all good too.

Oh my goodness they made Wolverine look..so hmm can't find the words for it lol. And why does the Hulk look like Oscar the Grouch on steroids? What on earth is going on here.. other than horrible wrecks that is.

That is CLEARLY not Picard - it's Voldemort in his Quirrell-head incarnation...and Wolverine has undergone his secondary mutation into Lobsterine, with the added power of being able to fit an orange up each nostril.WV - brasele - those Disney 'princesses' probably got fake-padded braseles.

Muskogee. Heh. The derogatory song in question would be "Okie from Muskogee" (I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee, a place where even squares can have a ball"). It was popular in the very early 70's, about when I started college at OU. Many of my classmates, not to mention my favorite philosophy teacher, could readily refute the opening line: "We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee."

Oh my, too too funny, per usual. There was already an overload delicious wreckiness to chew on and then you added the Shatner video too. It was so cringe inducing I had to stop it 3/4 of the way through. I tried to watch it all, I really, really tried, but it was just. too. painful!

So thank you @Miss Mindy 11:25am for the link to "Wolverine: The Musical". I howled with laughter. "I'm gonna slice and dice my toubles a-way-ay-ay-ayyy"FTW!

What's a Wreck?

What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Where's the book?

We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
